Shortcomings in urban and rural planning and how to solve them.doc

What are the deficiencies in the current implementation of urban and rural planning and how to solve them? 1. Basic situation of Longshan County Planning Bureau The County Planning Bureau was separated from the County Construction Station, a subordinate unit of the Construction Bureau. Our county established the County Planning Office in 1990. From 1990 to 1997, it served as an internal unit of the Construction Bureau and was engaged in county-wide planning management work. It had 4 to 6 staff members; In July, the Planning Office was upgraded to a deputy department-level unit and became an independent legal person, subordinate to the leadership of the construction front. From 1997 to 2007, it was mainly engaged in county planning and organized town planning management. It had 8 to 14 staff members, with professional and technical personnel. 4 to 7 people; with the continuous development of our county's construction situation and the gradual expansion of urban planning areas, especially after the county party committee and county people's government implemented the city-driven strategy, the importance of planning work has become increasingly prominent. In order to make planning work meet the needs of service In order to meet the needs of construction, through the efforts of the county party committee and the county people's government, the county planning office was upgraded to a full-level unit - Longshan County Town Planning Administration in 2007. The County Planning Bureau currently has 16 cadres and employees, including 8 construction professional and technical personnel and 5 staff with intermediate technical titles. The County Planning Bureau is currently mainly engaged in the review, approval, planning and design, and planning management of various construction projects. The bureau has an office, a regulatory unit, a business unit, a financial office, and a design office. Each unit performs daily tasks according to their division of labor. service work. 2. Basic practices for implementing planning work in our county <1> Overview of the preparation and construction of the county master plan. Our county compiled a relatively detailed county master plan in 1992. The preparation team invited by the county government was the former provincial urban construction specialist. The school's planning technology staff. The planning scope covers most of the administrative villages in Min'an Town, Xincheng Township and some administrative villages in Huatang Township. The determined planning development direction is to the north towards Shigao Town. The planning only has one urban core - Min'an Town, which provides scientific and effective guidance. Improved the urban construction of our county. Due to the need for county expansion, the county party committee and the county government conducted the first round of revisions to the county's urban master plan in 1997. The urban planning scope was expanded to include all administrative villages in Min'an Town and most of the new urban and rural areas in Huatang Township. Administrative village, the planning and development direction is determined to point to Laifeng County, and the county is planned into two urban cores - Min'an Town and Huatang Township. The two urban cores are closely connected by a green belt - Huangcangping Forest Park, creating a The organic connection between the urban master plans of Long and Feng counties has laid a solid foundation. Under the leadership of the county party committee and government, our county adheres to the strategy of promoting sustainable development of urban construction. After ten years of hard work, by 2007, the construction of the Min'an City Core Zone was basically completed. These ten years have been the year of our county's reform and opening up. In the past ten years, we have achieved fruitful results in the field of construction. We have successively built Minzu Road, Chaoyang Road, Xiang'e Road, Huancheng Road, extended Changsha Road, Xiang'e Road, etc., and built the Changsha Bridge, which has greatly improved the urban environment. It has made our county's urban construction take a leap forward, and also provided many useful experiences for the further development of our county's urban construction. In 2007, in order to implement the strategy of integrating dragons and phoenixes into the city, the county party committee and government decided to conduct a second round of revisions to the county's urban planning, which effectively guided the development and construction of Huatang New Area. It has completed construction projects such as Yuelu Avenue, Qingnian Road, and Fortune Road, and built the Xiang-Eqing Bridge, laying a good planning foundation for the further connection and simultaneous development of the construction plans of Long and Feng counties. With the attention and support of the leaders of the provincial party committee, provincial party committee, and state government, the county party committee, county government, and relevant functional departments have persevered, worked hard to seize opportunities, forge ahead, and proactively strived for various construction projects at the national, provincial, and state levels. The project has effectively promoted the comprehensive development of various construction projects in our county. What I am most proud of is that the two major construction projects of railway and highway that our county has worked hard for have finally been approved by the state and have now entered the road testing and construction stage. After the introduction and successful implementation of the two major construction projects of railway and highway, this will bring unprecedented opportunities to various construction and economic development of our county. At the same time, our county’s overall planning of the county and the overall planning of related towns are facing great challenges. challenge. In order to meet the new requirements for construction planning and fully serve the two major construction projects of railways and expressways, the county party committee and government decided to conduct the third round of revisions to the county’s overall plan at the end of 2010. Now we have started to revise the topography within the planned scope of the plan. Surveying and mapping work. <2> Overview of township overall planning preparation and construction With the implementation of the rural joint production contract responsibility system, our county's economy and construction began to enter the development stage. In order to guide the construction scientifically, from 1985 to 1986, the county party committee and the county government organized and dispatched various technical staff from functional departments in the county, conducted in-depth investigations into the vast rural areas of the county, and compiled a list of various towns and key points in the county. The village center construction plan is limited to the core areas of each township and central village. The direction of planned development is very arbitrary. There are only two drawings to express the planning intention - the current situation map and the central area planning map. The text description is rough and the planning indicators are lacking. Although the planning itself plays a certain guiding role in rural construction, it is not actually used in actual construction due to various reasons. It is just a drawing on paper and hanging on the wall.

After my country implemented the policy of reform and opening up, until 1994, the fifth anniversary of the implementation of the Urban Planning Law of the People's Republic of China, when the rural economy and construction of our county developed rapidly, upon requesting the instructions of the county party committee and county The government agreed, and the Planning Office organized construction and planning technical staff to conduct the first round of revisions to the county's key incorporated towns plan. In the following years, additional plans were revised for other incorporated towns and key townships and towns. Due to insufficient funds, and weak technical strength, and there are limitations in the scientific nature of the prepared plans and their guiding role in actual construction. From 1994 to 1999, with the continuous growth of people's household income and county-level fiscal revenue in our county, the construction of towns and villages in the county increased from few to many, from small to certain scale. In particular, the hardening and renovation of streets in key towns and villages such as Liye Town, Zhaoshi Town, Hongyan Town, Xichehe Town, and Xiluo Township in our county have aroused the enthusiasm of the people for building houses. After several years of construction, the towns and villages in our county have A new look. In 1999, in accordance with the spirit of instructions from superiors, the county party committee and the county government actively deployed and set off an upsurge in the construction of small towns in our county. Three organic towns, Miaoertan, Difang, and Shipai, were added successively. In order to make each organized town It has relatively scientific planning guidance for the construction of small towns in key towns and villages. In response to changes in the county's construction situation, the planning office proactively made suggestions to the county party committee and county government, requested adjustments to the plans of some towns and towns, and prepared overall plans for newly added towns. . Under the leadership of the county party committee and government, the county planning office invited planning technicians from the Provincial Urban College to come to our county to prepare and revise some township plans. After more than two years, the planning preparation and revision of the scheduled townships were finally completed. Task. Through this preparation and revision of the plan, it has played an important guiding role in the construction of small towns in our county, clearly pointed out the development scale and development direction of the future construction of each planned township, and put forward the economic and technical indicators of various constructions in a scientific way. . Under the guidance of the new plan, various towns in the county have taken the initiative to build small towns, such as Miaoertan Town, Dingfang Town, Longtou Town, Shipai Town, Liye Town, Guitang Town and other towns. After years of construction, the town has begun to take shape. Modern new market towns have sprung up all over our county, showing a prosperous scene. Especially after the immigration project, the excavation of Qin bamboo slips, and the planning and construction of the ancient city, Liye Town in our county is now It has become a beautiful and legendary historical and cultural town in Hunan, Hubei and Sichuan. Our county has formed a construction pattern of "people's peace in the north and Liye in the south". After many years of small town construction in the county, by 2007, many township plans were partially unable to meet construction needs. In order to serve the new construction situation, the county party committee and government decided to complete the county planning preparation and revision tasks in three years. Through the efforts of planning staff, by the beginning of 2010, our county finally fully completed this important and arduous task. The completion of this task has laid a solid planning foundation for the transition of our county's construction planning work from the implementation of the "Urban Planning Law of the People's Republic of China" to the implementation of the "Urban and Rural Planning Law of the People's Republic of China". <3> Basic situation of planning management work in our county Planning management includes planning law enforcement, planning approval, construction project review and other aspects. As the saying goes, “Three points of planning, seven points of management”, which fully demonstrates the importance of planning management in planning implementation. Before 1990, that is, before the Planning Office was established in our county, the county construction station was responsible for various planning and management tasks. It was mainly engaged in the approval and management of county construction projects. It only provided business guidance for township construction and conducted township planning and construction work. It is mainly the responsibility of grassroots party committees and people's governments. After the "Urban Planning Law of the People's Republic of China" was implemented on April 1, 1990, the county planning office, while doing a good job in county planning management, gradually went into all the organized towns in the county and actively assisted the grassroots party committees , the people's government should do a good job in various planning and management work, from project site selection, land and terrain surveying, land use approval, preliminary review of project planning and design, project approval, construction setting out, etc., to project completion acceptance, planning staff need to do a lot of detailed work work and made due contributions to the development of small town construction in our county. While doing a good job in planning approval and project construction planning services, from 1997 to 2007, the Planning Office actively organized staff to do a good job in planning law enforcement in the county, mainly tracking and managing projects under construction and handling illegal construction. Timely investigation and handling of behaviors, etc. Although the working conditions for planning law enforcement are poor, none of the law enforcement staff retreated. Regardless of the sun or rain, they could persist in doing planning inspections and investigations every day, such as the planning control of old houses on both sides of Xinjian Road and the renovation of old houses on both sides of Xinjian Road. Planning and control of engineering construction on both sides of the section, planning and control of Changsha Road extension, planning and control of construction on both sides of Minzu Road, etc. Although the planning enforcement work in our county is very difficult, the planning staff can adhere to strict and fair enforcement and never use power for personal gain. It effectively regulates the planning behavior of various construction projects in our county and plays a great role in ensuring the stability and development of the construction market in our county. In 2007, in order to further improve planning law enforcement, the county party committee and government requested instructions from the provincial party committee and provincial government, and the provincial government issued a decision to transfer planning law enforcement power to the county urban management comprehensive law enforcement bureau. The Planning Office has not given up on planning law enforcement work because of this. Instead, it has actively provided all-round services for law enforcement work from the aspect of planning business and actively cooperated with the Law Enforcement Bureau to do all aspects of planning law enforcement work.

From 2007 to 2010, the Planning Bureau and the Law Enforcement Bureau carried out solid and orderly management of various construction projects in the county. They severely investigated and dealt with more than ten serious illegal construction behaviors, investigated and corrected more than 100 general illegal construction behaviors, and effectively maintained The seriousness and authority of construction planning laws and regulations. 3. Our county’s basic experience in implementing urban and rural planning. Through the above review of our county’s planning preparation and planning management work, it is believed that our county’s basic experience in implementing urban and rural planning has the following aspects: <1>, the support and leadership of the county committee and county government Attention is the leadership foundation for the implementation of planning work. The implementation of planning is a comprehensive work. The preparation of the plan, the publicity of the plan, the management of the plan, etc. all require the support and attention of the leadership. This series of work requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and without the support of the leadership Just like cooking without rice, it is difficult to make progress. <2> Preparing a scientific and practical plan is the premise and foundation for implementing the plan. The preparation of a scientific and practical plan is a strong guarantee for guiding the sustainable development of urban and rural construction. Its impact on urban and rural construction and development is positive and far-reaching. On the contrary, it will not only fail to guide urban and rural construction, but will also affect the long-term development of urban and rural construction. develop. <3>. Cultivating a high-quality planning and technical team is the business and technical foundation to ensure the implementation of planning work. With only a good plan, it is impossible to implement the plan well without a high-quality planning technical team. It's like a carpenter who has good wood but doesn't know how to make the best use of it. Either the wood is wasted or the workmanship is rough. <4>. Cultivating a planning law enforcement team with good comprehensive quality is the basis for legal guarantee for the implementation of planning work. To do a good job in the implementation of planning work, it is necessary to have a law enforcement team with good comprehensive quality that understands both planning business knowledge and planning laws and regulations. Only such a team can fully ensure the correctness of the implementation planning work. 4. Problems and Suggestions in the Implementation of Urban and Rural Planning in Our County <1>. Problems in Implementation of Planning After a comprehensive and profound reflection on the planning work in our county, it is believed that there are some problems in the implementation of urban and rural planning in our county: <1>, The pace of planning preparation lags behind the current situation of construction. Looking at the planning preparation work experience of our county, it is not difficult to see that every planning preparation or revision in our county is carried out under the urgent needs of construction. The planning preparation and revision work are basically at a The status of passive obedience has greatly affected the quality of planning preparation and revision work, putting the planning preparation and revision work in a bad cycle, and also affected the construction of the city. <2>. The law enforcement system for implementing planning is not smooth, and power is transferred frequently. Our county's planning law enforcement has gone from construction to planning, and from planning to construction, and then from construction to comprehensive urban management law enforcement. It has been a bumpy road until now. With the changes in law enforcement units, Law enforcement officers have also changed positions several times. Although law enforcement work has not stopped, every transfer of law enforcement power has more or less adverse effects on law enforcement work, which not only damages the enthusiasm of law enforcement personnel, but also is detrimental to law enforcement work. orderly transition. <3>. There are some unscientific administrative interventions in the implementation of the plan. The construction of our county is basically carried out under the guidance of the plan, but there are still some non-compliances in the specific construction process, such as the pre-planning of the land for public facilities and services. Reserved, either not reserved according to the plan, or not reserved according to the plan, etc. This seriously affects the comprehensive function of urban services. Of course, it is not that the administration cannot intervene in the implementation of the plan. Mistakes or inefficiencies in the implementation of the plan can be rectified. It is also reasonable and legal to make scientific and reasonable partial adjustments to the plan due to the needs of construction, but it cannot be arbitrary and should be strictly followed. The program proceeds. <4>. There is a certain emphasis on cities and neglect of villages and towns in the implementation of planning work. Our county has done a lot of work in the urban-rural integrated planning and construction work, achieved certain results, and summarized a lot of useful work experience. However, in the implementation In the actual planning process, it is not difficult to see the phenomenon of focusing on cities and neglecting towns. For example, every year our county comprehensively commends various townships and towns for their work that has been identified as "key", but in terms of construction planning work, there has been no competition for excellence for a long time. Of course, there is nothing wrong with cities being more prominent than towns in various planning and management tasks, because the scale of urban planning and construction is larger than that of towns. However, just because urban construction work is heavy, it does not mean that we should not pay attention to township construction and planning. Only by considering both urban and rural areas and linking them together can we truly do a good job in the planning and construction of urban-rural integration. <2>. Put forward some suggestions on the implementation of the planning work. In order to do a good job in the implementation of the planning work in our county and promote the long-term development of the planning and construction work in our county, the relevant work suggestions are put forward as follows: <1>. Strengthen the leadership’s planning awareness and ensure that Scientific continuity of planning implementation<2>, straightening out the planning management system, ensuring the standardization and seriousness of planning implementation<3>, cultivating a good quality management team, ensuring the steady and orderly implementation of the plan<4>, adhering to urban and rural integration strategy to ensure the consistent progress in the implementation of urban and rural planning. 5. Brief explanation The above discussion on the implementation of the county’s planning is only a personal opinion and is for reference only. If there are any mistakes or inappropriateness, I hope leaders and comrades will criticize and correct me. Thank you.
